Detailed Description

The Delphi TA5365 is a steering tie rod end engineered for the left outer position on Toyota Pickup trucks from 1972 through 1978. It features a male-to-male configuration, a threaded stud design, and a counterclockwise end 2 thread direction. The part uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot, with a pre-greased, non-greaseable construction for straightforward service replacement. Delphi validates steering components through extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style fit and function. This makes the TA5365 a practical choice when replacing worn steering linkage on a Toyota Pickup, especially where original steering response and alignment accuracy matter.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES2092R for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play in the left outer tie rod end
• Clunking or looseness from worn steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
• Imprecise steering response on Toyota Pickup trucks
• Visible boot damage or contamination at the steering joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1972-1978 Toyota Pickup, left outer. Confirm thread direction, stud type, and overall dimensions before installation, especially when matching an existing steering linkage setup. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct toe settings and steering feel. The Delphi TA5365 is also a direct-fit reference for service work where OE-style steering geometry must be maintained.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based engineering and validation to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including temperature cycling below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus extended salt-spray exposure testing. The TA5365 is built to support consistent fitment and durability for Toyota Pickup steering service.
